If you're not interested in the 3DS, then why do you need convincing? Just wait until there are games you want to play.---3DS: 3351-4237-2268

Obviously, there is a magnetic pull towards the latest in technology. I've played all N hand helds since the GBC. Part of me is screaming "Wait for a hardware revision, stupid"! and part of me says "New tech for $109 w/ trade-in")---"The Virtual Boy didn't fail. We failed the Virtual Boy"-fallenKlNG

I get that too, but I only went through with it because I wanted to play OoT3D, a couple of VC games and am interested in some upcoming titles. If you don't have that, then I can't recommend making the purchase at all.---3DS: 3351-4237-2268

Still have a silver phat and still many GBA games, so the VC is sort of meh to me.

My taste in games is different than most here, too. I love turn-based strategy and RPG's, which the 3DS is looking pretty weak in so far.

Looking like I'll just keep my DSi and phat, so far.---"The Virtual Boy didn't fail. We failed the Virtual Boy"-fallenKlNG

Get the current 3DS if you like portability and sharper screens. The revision's going to be a 3DS XL. If you want turn based rpgs, not many of those come out during a system's first year. There's SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked if you're interested in that. Some other RPGs are Tales of the Abyss and Kingdom Hearts 3D, which are both coming out by early next year. TotA might come out earlier if it doesn't get delayed.

It's always been my guess that any 3DS revision would be an XL model. Just curious what you're basing YOUR assumption on? Has there been some news I've missed out on?

I'd totally jump on a 3DS XL model, if it did come to reality. I think if the main screen were larger, perhaps the "sweet spot" would be larger, too.---"The Virtual Boy didn't fail. We failed the Virtual Boy"-fallenKlNG

In 3DS "Expanded" mode, the display seems blury and the bottom screen is too small.

TC when did play the 3DS playing DS games? cause after the shop came out they reduced the blurriness SIGNIFICANTLY. its still there but its not nearly as bad as what it first was.---ErrorSupply 3-D DS -OMG! It's the ultimate anti-pirate tech O:.
